The behaviour of the Klein-Gordon oscillator under the influence of linear and Coulomb-type potentials is investigated. The introduction of the scalar potentials is made by modifying the mass term of the Klein-Gordon equation, then, by searching for relativistic bound states, a particular quantum effect can be observed: a dependence of the angular frequency of the Klein-Gordon oscillator on the quantum numbers associated with the radial modes and the angular momentum. As an example, we analyse the angular frequency and the energy level associated with the ground state of the relativistic system.
